Drama

Welcome to Drama

Drama at the School of Creative and Performing Arts is an exciting place for theatre. For almost fifty years, hundreds of young artists have been challenged, nurtured and inspired in a climate of creative engagement and study. At the very heart of the theatre experience exists the process of exploration. Theatre unlocks and examines those things, large and small, which test, tease, provoke, outrage, raise eyebrows, raise blood pressure and invoke a sense of wonder.

Within the framework of this dynamic of investigation, Drama encourages students to collaborate, challenge themselves and grow. Our program offers an integrated blend of intellectual rigor and artistic practice that provides students with a profound cross-disciplinary experience.

Students immerse themselves in their studies and are provided the tools and conditions to examine the vital connections between theory and practice, play and performance. They research alongside seasoned designers, directors, academics, actors, playwrights and professional guest artists emerging with the skills and imagination necessary to thrive on whatever path they choose. Our graduates are theatre artists, educators, technicians, and academics and also enter fields as diverse as law, medicine and business.

We are proud to continue to offer our season of plays, bringing our audiences that rare and exuberant combination of budding aspiration and dynamic risk taking.
